Hi!
Could it be that your question has been misinterpreted?
Do you want to determine the type of file from the contents of the file because you don't trust the extension (like CG suggested) or do you want to display the name for a given extension like Windows Explorer does (for example: extension is ".txt", but explorer shows "text file")?

That's an information you get (along with the icon associated, btw.) from a call to SHGetFileInfo from shell32.dll.
Take a look at this article[^], it holds all the information you need.

The information you want is simply the szTypeName member of the SHFILEINFO struct. When you read the documentation for SHGetFileInfo you'll see that you'll have to specify the SHGFI_TYPENAME flag to query this piece of information.
It's all in the documentation, you just have to read...

I'm working on an app that's using the WebBrowser control in a c# windows application.
I got the control working fine, hooking to the document object. But I've run
into a major issue with hooking the Document events. Whenever I hook any of
the HTMLDocumnetEvent2_Event events like this:
HTMLDocumentEvents2_Event DocEvents = this.Browser.Document as
HTMLDocumentEvents2_Event ;
DocEvents.oncontextmenu += new
HTMLDocumentEvents2_oncontextmenuEventHandler(Browser_ContextMenu);
the browser document becomes unresposinve.All mouse clicks are eaten. I cannot click on any text box or any link . But the right click is disabled . Can anyone help to solve this problem such that i can disable the right click in the browser control and browser document and mouse clicks also work fine in c# windows application.
thanks

Hi Ramya,
The System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser control has a public property IsWebBrowserContextMenuEnabled. Set this boolean to FALSE, so the Context menu would not be displayed.
BTW, just as a passing reference, do remember that context menu can also be displayed using the keyboard. So setting this property of webbrowser would take care of both the 'Keyboard' and 'Mouse - Right click' related ways of displaying the context menu.

I would like to integerate outlook style dropdown list in my application. I have not found any control having exactly same functionality as in outlook dropdown used for the To, CC fields in new message window.
I used combo dropdown to filter the rows as user types in the textbox. The filtering functionality is working fine but when I use UP/DOWN arrow keys the selected text comes into the textbox which I don't want.
Is there any way which will not assign the selected text in the dropdown textbox when user navigate in the dropdown list using UP/DOWN arrow keys?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Is it a database server you are trying to connect with or a file like an access database?

The code is the same. You just specify the server ip adress (or a domain name pointing to it) as the server in the connection string.

dear deepak.
it would be better to take input type=file html control on an aspx page. you should try this
this would display a textbox along with a browse button.which on clicking at runtime will open the openfiledialog box for you to choose files from.
hope you got your answer. pleae be in touch.
all the best.

Hello,
Is it possible to create an OpenDirDialog by using standart features of C# (like SHBrowseForFolder in VC++)? I think it must be a standart function (like OpenFileDialog), but I cant find it in MSDN

Are you looking for FolderBrowserDialog?

Hi all, I've got a problem...
I'm using the wodBeep controls (http://www.softplatz.com/Soft/Development/Other/wodBeep.html) to try and create a client/server application.
The server must maintain a list of the users and as a client sends information to the server, the server should then relay it to the correct subset of users.
The problem is, I can't find a good way of figuring out how to store this information.
At the moment when a client connects it sends a serialized userobject, containing some basic information that is common accross both the server and the client... but I have no idea how to work out which instance of the beep object this should be related to. Below is the relevent code from my project.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using affinityBeepProfiles;
//using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using WODBEEPCOMLib;
using affinitySharedClasses;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
using System.Collections;
namespace affinityServer
{
public partial class frmMain : Form
{
private wodBeepCom myBeep;
private affinityBeepProfile myBeepProfile;
private BeepTransportTCP myBeepTCP;
private user myUser;
private int beepCount = 0;
private Hashtable myUsers = new Hashtable();
public frmMain()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void myBeep_Disconnected(int errorCode, string errorText)
{
txtStatus.Text += "[Client disconnected]";
if (errorCode > 0)
{
txtStatus.Text += " - " + errorText;
}
txtStatus.Text += "\r\n";
}
private void myBeep_Connected(object PeerInfo)
{
txtStatus.Text += "[Client connected]\r\n";
//add this current beep interface onto myUsers
myUsers.Add(beepCount, myBeep);
BeepMessage beepMessage = new BeepMessage();
beepMessage.Body = "BIN\r\n" + beepCount;
beepMessage.Type = MessageTypes.msgOther;
myBeep.Transport.Send(beepMessage, 0);
//create new beep instance
createNewBeep();
txtStatus.Text += "{new BEEP instance created}\r\n";
}
private void frmMain_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
createNewBeep();
txtStatus.Text += "[server started]\r\n";
}
private void btnStop_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
btnStart.Enabled = true;
btnStop.Enabled = false;
myBeep.Stop();
txtStatus.Text += "[stopped]\r\n";
}
private void btnStart_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
btnStart.Enabled = false;
btnStop.Enabled = true;
myBeep.Start();
txtStatus.Text += "[started]\r\n";
}
private void createNewBeep()
{
myBeep = new wodBeepCom();
myBeepProfile = new affinityBeepProfile();
myBeepTCP = new BeepTransportTCP();
myBeepTCP.DebugFile = "C:\affinityDebug.txt";
myBeepTCP.Port = 4397;
myBeep.Transport = (BeepTransport)myBeepTCP;
myBeepProfile.isServer = true;
myBeep.Profiles.Add(myBeepProfile);
myBeep.Role = BeepRoles.ListenerRole;
myBeep.Start();
//here is as good a place as any for events? :S
myBeep.Connected += new _IwodBeepComEvents_ConnectedEventHandler(myBeep_Connected);
myBeep.Disconnected += new _IwodBeepComEvents_DisconnectedEventHandler(myBeep_Disconnected);
myBeep.ChannelOpen += new _IwodBeepComEvents_ChannelOpenEventHandler(myBeep_ChannelOpen);
myBeepProfile.msgReceive += new affinityBeepProfile.onReceive(myBeepProfile_msgReceive);
++beepCount;
}
void myBeepProfile_msgReceive(object sender, onReceiveEventArgs e)
{
switch (e.messageAction)
{
case "UOB":
txtStatus.Text += "[user object] - ";
Stream myStream = new MemoryStream(ASCIIEncoding.Default.GetBytes(e.strBody));
XmlSerializer mySerial = new XmlSerializer(typeof(user));
myUser = (user)mySerial.Deserialize(myStream);
myStream.Close();
txtStatus.Text += myUser.affinityName.ToString() + "\r\n";
break;
}
}
void myBeep_ChannelOpen(BeepChannel Channel)
{
txtStatus.Text += "[new channel created] - " + Channel.ID + "\r\n";
}
}
}
Perhaps more information is needed in order for me to get help on this problem, but any insight would be great (I'm willing to give any more information that I can should anything more be needed to gain an understanding of what I'm trying to do - this isn't some top secret endevour )
Cheers all
